childfree.
Today I learned that my uterus is hawt and sexy.
I was having a perfectly normal conversation with a customer about the hassle of Christmas trees, which led to the kid thing - because the customer, having kids, has to have a tree, whereas I, childfree, do not - which in turn led to me saying, "No, I don't have kids yet. Or ever."
Then she starts going on about how I sound like her daughter and we are wasting our uteruses that God gave us. I mention the possibility of adoption, pointing out that there are already loads of kids who need homes, so why go and make one? Again, I sound like her daughter (the poor child) and then she starts in on the uterus theme again: "You have a beautiful uterus. God gave it to you, don't waste it."
A: Leave your god out of it. B: Shut up. C: Get out of my store, plskthx. D: Shut up.
She wasn't belligerent or openly rude or anything, but damn if she didn't sound like just about every breeder I've read about atchildfree.
Oh, and surprise, surprise: She's twenty-nine with seven kids.
